Distributed congestion control strategy using network utility maximization theory in VANET by Guozhen TAN, Guodong HAN, Fuxin ZHANG, Nan DING, Mingjian LIU

“…Cooperative vehicle safety system (CVSS) rely on periodical beacons to track neighboring vehicles.High traffic density often causes channel congestion,seriously damaging the performance of CVSS.Existing congestion control strategies aim to ensure the performance in network layer,without considering the service requirements of vehicles in different driving contexts.To solve the problem,a distributed congestion control strategy using network utility maximization (NUM) theory was proposed.First of all,the NUM model for channel resource allocation was introduced.A utility function reflecting vehicle’s safety requirements was proposed in the model.Then under the condition of fixed transmit powers,a optimization problem of channel resource allocation was proposed.Lastly,to solve the optimization problem,a distributed congestion control algorithm named utility-based rate congestion control (UBRCC) algorithm was designed,the algorithm worked out the optimal beaconing rate by updating vehicle’s congestion price,realizing the resource allocation according to vehicle’s safety requirements.Simulation results validate that UBRCC algorithm can efficiently control channel congestion,reduce transmission delay,ensure reliable data transmission and satisfies the requirements of safety applications.…”

Membership inference attack and defense method in federated learning based on GAN by Jiale ZHANG, Chengcheng ZHU, Xiaobing SUN, Bing CHEN

“…Aiming at the problem that the federated learning system was extremely vulnerable to membership inference attacks initiated by malicious parties in the prediction stage, and the existing defense methods were difficult to achieve a balance between privacy protection and model loss.Membership inference attacks and their defense methods were explored in the context of federated learning.Firstly, two membership inference attack methods called class-level attack and user-level attack based on generative adversarial network (GAN) were proposed, where the former was aimed at leaking the training data privacy of all participants, while the latter could specify a specific participant.In addition, a membership inference defense method in federated learning based on adversarial sample (DefMIA) was further proposed, which could effectively defend against membership inference attacks by designing adversarial sample noise addition methods for global model parameters while ensuring the accuracy of federated learning.The experimental results show that class-level and user-level membership inference attack can achieve over 90% attack accuracy in federated learning, while after using the DefMIA method, their attack accuracy is significantly reduced, approaching random guessing (50%).…”
